Chapter 167: the ckbeard


    Ian was in doubt after hearing a strangeughtering from outside the pub.


    Zehahahaha!! Here it is. The cherry pie in this tavern is delicious oh oh oh! How can there be a giant outside!?


    Ian heard the noises arriving from the front of the taverns door, and after a while, a group of people pushed open the door and entered.


    Ian was so shocked when he saw the first man entering


    Is that really the ckbeard!?


    The man who came in was a big man with a burly and rugged appearance. His body hair was very thick. He wore an open buttoned white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, showing his hairy chest. He had two strings of jewels on his neck. He pushed open the door of the tavern with his hands, which were full of jewel rings. There were three medieval guns in his left waist, and a wine bottle on the right side of his belt. Just by his appearance, he showed a look of a tyrant


    This man was, for sure, Marshall D. Teach, known as the ckbeard!


    Ian was nervous when he saw him appearing in this ce suddenly, and he felt terrified.


    Why is he here!?


    But then Ian immediately thought about it, and recalled. Ah, yes, when I met Ramos, he said that he was a member of the second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates! That is to say, the Second Division was now stationed here, and the ckbeard seems to be a member of this team too if he remembers correctly


    If Ian was surprised by the sudden appearance of the ckbeard, then when he saw the man behind the ckbeard, Ian got choked by his own drink!


    Behind the ckbeard was a man dressed all in ck, with a ck thief mask on his head, only showing his eyes


    And the most shocking thing was that this man even had a samurai sword on his waist


    This reminded Ian of the night clothes he wore when he was in Marijoa. Inbination with the discussion of the pirates behind him, Ian instantly understood what was going on!


    What the f**k!? Is this a joke, Its obvious that hes fake!?


    Thats why he was choked


    When the masked man walked into the tavern, his right hand was still on the hilt at his waist. He nced at all the people in the tavern with alert eyes.


    When the ckbeard and this man appeared, the whole tavern went quiet, looking at the two with a stunned expression.


    Zihahaha! The ckbeard also saw the reaction of the crowd, and hisughter suddenly filled the whole ce. He opened his hands and shouted to the people in the pub, Are you surprised? Id like to introduce you to Mr. ck Masked Man, the man who just burned the holynd of Marijoa! And now, hes one of us, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates!


    Poof! Poof! Ian and all the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, after hearing this, all of them spouted out the wine in their mouths!


    In the beginning, when they saw the masked man, they first thought that this was just his usual dress. But after hearing the ckbeards words, they immediately reacted!


    The F**k! How dare you pretending to be our captain!?


    At the moment, there were two big men next to Ian who couldnt hold back. They pped the table and stood up, they wanted to clear things up, but they were pulled by Ian.


    However, they pped the table a little loudly, which made the ckbeard and the masked man look over, as did the others in the tavern.


    What, kid, is there a problem? The ckbeard opened his mouth wide, revealing his missing teeth, and sneered.


    Its nothing! Ian sat in his seat, smiled slightly, raised his ss and gestured to the ckbeard, saying, Dont mind my partners, they drink too much!


    With Ians words, the ckbeard didnt investigate more. He took the masked man to the bar counter and sat down. He smiled at the owner and said: Hey boss, bring us your delicious cherry pie! And a lot of wine!


    Okay, Mr. Teach! the pub owner said with a smile.


    Then, the ckbeard and the masked man sat in front of the bar, drinking, eating, andughing.


    Captain, why did you stop us from speaking the truth? The two big men, who were held by Ian, whispered to Ian with some grievances, That guy is impersonating your character!


    Let him do so! Ian smiled and said, We shouldnt care much about such a thing. First, lets see what they are going to do. This is the Whitebeards territory. That guy named Teach is one of the Whitebeard pirates!


    Hearing Ians words, everyone had no choice but to suppress this matter.


    Turning his head, Ian continued to look at the ckbeard, observing him secretly while he was drinking.


    Dont look at this guys upstart expression. He wears all kinds of jewelry on his body, but this was exactly the image of most pirates. It can be said that his appearance was a typical example.


    In Ians observation, he found that the ckbeard was very amiable, and even the tavern owner calls him Mr. Teach, which was not due to fear of the Whitebeard Pirates, because Ian saw that he was talking with the owner from time to time, and he oftenughed with them, he had a very straightforward and approachable look.


    Huh! A couple of great actors! Ian sighed in his heart.


    Only Ian knew that the ckbeard was a very ambitious man. He has been thinking about staying in the Whitebeard pirate group, just using his name as a cover, ying the image of a good son. But in the future, when the opportunity to be the Commander of the second Division will be given to Ace, that will cause some jealousy.


    However, when his target appeared, he immediately revealed his ferocious fangs.


    In order to snatch the Dark-Dark Fruit, he killed the Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates 4th Division, took the fruit, and fled. Then during the Battle of Marineford, he appeared in thest second and used a special ability, probably from his Dark-Dark fruit, and took the Whitebeards power, his Tremor-Tremor fruit, thus sessfully ascended the throne of the four emperors ( bing one of the Yonko)


    All of this will happen two yearster. Now, the image of the ckbeard in front of the public was just a simple and bold pirate.


    And the masked man sitting next to him, Ian didnt have to think about him at all, he was another guy who wanted to capitalize on this event


    This was the perfect opportunity. When Ian was rioting in Marijoa, his dress was too easy to be imitated, and no one saw his real face at that time. So the wanted poster was just his masked appearance.


    However, the Marines and the world government have offered such a high bounty for him, and he has to only be captured alive


    For those who wanted to be famous quickly, posing as Ian was really a great shortcut.


    ording to Ians conjecture, its not a bad thing that there were guys who pretend to be him all over the world. The only one who was smarter than others and will be recognized as the real one is the one who found the Whitebeard Pirate Group and nned to join them.


    Once he joins the Whitebeard Pirates and gets sheltered by them, he will be the true arsonist.


    As for the ckbeard, he must have been sent by the Whitebeard Pirates to win over the masked man, and it seems that the twomunicated quite smoothly, otherwise Teach would not invite the masked man to the pub for a drink.


    Ian looked at this scene and suddenly felt a bit funny. It felt like watching two scheming bastards performing


    Impersonating me? What a joke?


    The masked man probably didnt know the inside story, thinking that Ian has just ignited Marijoa. He might feel that it wasnt a big deal. But when he joins the whitebeard Pirates, he thinks that he would be safe by doing this


    But he doesnt know that Ian was wanted with such a high bounty because he took the identity chip of a Celestial Dragon.


    As long as Celestial Dragons havent given up this matter, there will be a steady stream of marines hunting him down, even if he was with the Whitebeard Pirates, they wont necessarily be able to protect him.


    This made Ian wonder whether the Whitebeard Pirates would engage in a full-scale battle against the marines for this fake person? If so, will they


    Start the Battle of Marineford in advance!? Haha, that would be too funny


    This was the reason why Ian stopped everyone from debunking the masked man. This is something that can help him change the pot. This is a good thing for Ian!


    Just as Ian was drinking Sake happily and looking at these two cunning people, three warships were also slowly approaching the sea outside the Mainspring Ind


    Not only that, but there was also a strange big ship far behind these three warships.


    This big ship was dragged by two huge and ferocious snakes, and a ck pirate g was fluttering above the ships mast.


    Its Jolly Roger has a small skull with no jawbone, and no crossbones. Instead, it has nine snakes appearing from behind the skull, curving to the right


    The Kuja pirates!
